The Daily Guide
Inheriting the promises
We desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:11-12 - NKJV
Hope from God is a vision of the good He's promised. It is that kind of hope that's referred to above. For us, this divine hope is a vision of the good things Christ has provided for us to come into. Are you giving diligence to build up this hope? In doing so the assurance you have will turn to the full assurance of hope. Such full assurance of hope kept God's people of the past moving in faith and perseverance to inherit the promises!
Moving forwards like this reminds me of many life journeys I've made. I think of my four years at college on my way to a degree. I think of my 5 years of gymnastics training on my way to representing the English schools. I even think of journeys on my way to holiday locations. On each journey, in order to make it to my destination, I had to have a strong vision of what was to be mine on reaching that destination.
The destination for us in Christ is the place where we come into the inheritance He left us. Keep a strong vision of that place for it is yours to obtain in Christ Jesus. Keep sight of it. Focusing on it as your destination will keep you from becoming spiritually dull or indifferent. Give diligence to building divine hope within you through God's Word and His Spirit. It will lead to full assurance of hope and full assurance of hope will bring you into the fulfilment of the promises!
Get serious about building hope!
